No family should face Alzheimer's or dementia without education, support, and a community that cares. LBM Awareness Foundation brings knowledge, compassion, and real help wherever families need us most.
No family should face Alzheimer's or dementia without education, support, and a community that cares. This is the pillar Lorraine's memory calls us to first.
We're building caregiver education seminars, early-awareness resources, and a place where no one has to navigate a diagnosis alone.
